M40DV-PFC Peninsula Gas Fireplace
Installation
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that maintains proper
clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing.
Safety, as well as efficiency of operation, must be considered when
selecting the fireplace location. Try to select a location that does not
interfere with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an
accessible pathway for Direct Vent installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:
Framing
Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the fireplace
opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in Figure 20b.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.

WARNING:
When this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or any
combustible material other than wood flooring, it must be installed
